Hi everyone

IF YOU NEED INSURANCE IN DIFFICULT CIRCUMSTANCES, READ THIS:

I have recently concluded a 9-month ban after a DR 10 conviction, and of course finding an insurance company that didn't take the piss was going to be awkward. I made literally scores of calls to all those companies stating they dealt with convicted drivers and so on, and yes I did get reasonable quotes, given my circumstances, but of course miles away from my usual rates before my conviction.

I was then given the following contact by a colleague from the Jensen forum (I'm an FF owner too): Nathan Baigent, A-Plan Insurance. Nathan couldn't be a more helpful guy, and duly got me insurance that beat all those others into a cocked hat! For example:

My VX 3.0 Elite   fully comrehensive. courtsey car, Class 1 business use, 12k miles, legals etc - £380.00
Jensen FF (6.3 litre V8)   as above though as its classic car ins 5k miles and SDP only - £298.00

So I reckon its worth giving him a ring on 01993 778778.

Cheers

Charlie

PS. He does all the other sorts of insurance too - commercial, household etc.

Handy to know.  ;)

Come on then Charlie, you gonna spill the beans about your DR 10 conviction ;)

I have a 17 year old in the house who is twitching at a premium of £1000....mind you i would as well

My renewal is up in two weeks & it's gone up £111 because of a peding claim (not my fault, he backed into me, but is of course denying it, ****!).
So I gave Nathan a ring (top bloke) & he's got me the same price that I paid last year, whether or not I win/draw/loose the claim & if I win; next year it should drop cosiderably.

I mentioned that I'd got his number from here & he said; "Oh that must be Charlie!".

Cheers.
